Moreover, the Center strives tointegrate best practices per new research. Concurrently, assessment instruments are updated toreflect the updated programs elements and activities. For example, 50% or more of all theparticipants in the Cohort 2 reported large or very large gains in their laboratory safetyknowledge, openness to having their views challenged, openness to work with people withdifferent beliefs, and openness to consider and discuss new research ideas; however these itemswere added to the assessment after review of Cohort 1’s experiences (thus Table 3 does

In this field of graphics and design, which is more linked to STEM education, there are testsuch as the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test – Rotations1 (PSVT:R), the Mental Cutting Test10(MCT), and Shepard-Metzler Rotation9 (S-M) Test and its modification12. The underlyingconcept in these tests is the mental rotation of 3D objects. PSVT:R is perhaps one of the mostcommonly used test, and after its initial development in 1977, there have been reports aboutimprovements and expansion of tests for spatial visualization and spatial orientation.

Gravitational acceleration was set inthe general settings with a y-component of -9.81 m/s2. The rectangular computational domainwas the same as the projected area in the experiments with dimensions of 464 mm in width and232 mm in height, which was used in all of the trials. The inlet velocities along the ceiling wallwere set to be 1, 2, 4, and 8 m/s, and the computational domain was meshed using a biased meshin the vertical direction. The simulations were run with a time step of 0.01 s during 500 timesteps for a total of 5

Watching the audio lectures can be considered a passive learning modeand manipulating them is considered active. Both activities are low-level learning activitiesaccording to the ICAP framework and thus they were moved outside of the class and class timecan be used for higher-level learning activities.Q&AAs students prepared for each lecture on their own, they were highly encouraged to post anyquestions they might have to the Piazza discussion board embedded in the Blackboard coursesite.

The goal is to attain the benefits of group work while providingjust in time coaching to address any conceptual issues as they occur. Although group orteam-based learning has its advantages, it still has well-known disadvantages. The maindrawback being the student who is not participating may have less effective learning expe-riences as compared to the more gregarious and/or confident students who actually solvethe problem. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this technique in the context of teach-ing undergraduate dynamics, although we believe it can be applied in other undergraduatescience

These degrees have slightly different learning goals. In order to award allthree degrees, the university needs to assess and assure that the learning goals are achieved.How can this be monitored, and is it even possible? Some previous publications [3, 4] suggestthat it is possible but requires a lot of effort in adapting program goals to course goals andensuring a high standard in the curriculum

One movement that has emerged as promising pedagogy is that of ActiveLearning.
